Table 5. Regression models for CMR variables stratified by gender.

CMR Variable	Interaction Term P Value	Men	Women

Only CMR variables with significant interaction terms between leptin and gender are included. Noted as B±SEM. P values:

^*p≤0.0005,

^†p≤0.005,

^‡p≤0.05.

A 1 unit increase in log₂ leptin represents a doubling of the leptin level. Adjusted for age, race, systolic blood pressure, anti-hypertensive usage, LDL, HDL, hyperlipidemia medication usage, diabetes, diabetic medication usage, chronic kidney disease, current alcohol and tobacco use, adiponectin and BMI.
